Yeah…WellPreserved wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 8:44 pmNo. I know you're not a farmer. I'm asking you because rightly, you are greatly offended by companies (or their contractors) that have broken child labor laws and children have been hurt. You have taken this to mean that these companies are immoral which as I said in the other thread, companies don't have morals, they are just interested in profits. If, as you proclaim, they are in fact immoral for subjecting 15 year olds to dangerous machinery, then what about farmers? Or are these companies immoral for breaking labor law not for subjecting children to dangerous machinery?Slimshandy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 8:35 pmAre you asking me for any other reason Besides the fact that I live in Arkansas and you think you already know what my opinion would be?WellPreserved wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 6:16 pm
What do you think about US farmers?
Agricultural is th deadliest industry for child workers and 1000s are injured on farms every year.
Under US labor law, children as young as 12 can work unlimited hours on farms of any size with parental permission, as long as they do not miss school.
These laws are in place throughout the country, not just Arkansas, so I'm not sure what you living in Arkansas has to do with it and I have no opinion what your opinion on child labor laws regarding agricultural is as I don't think you've ever posted it.
Any company, regardless of sector, whether that be food production or agriculture is immoral for putting children in life threatening situations.
Farming isn’t just dangerous for children, it’s one of the most dangerous jobs to be in for adults as well.
It’s not ok, it’s immoral, it’s disgusting, and yea, companies can be immoral because guess who runs companies? People that make moral or immoral choices.
